Although I guess I am best off trying to use the original cables in the loft? I notice there are 3 red cables off on another of those connectors....
Ceiling light- 3 sets of wires to fit into 1 set light

Yes, assuming your new light fitting has space, you need the cables in the loft to come through the ceiling into the room.
And you need to take a photo of how those wires are connected to the connector block.
You don't want the connector block to be in the loft.
However, if your new light fitting doesn't have much space for wires, you can fit an enclosed junction box in the loft, with one sheathed cable going to the light fitting.

If you can get your friendly ex sparky back ask them to come equipped with a suitable junction box and tidy up the cables and leave a piece of suitable twin and earth/three core flex exiting the hole ready for connecting to the new light
